Alice In Wonderland Tea Party and You're Invited! Welcome to the 102nd Tablescape Thursday!

Hi Everyone! Happy Tablescape Thursday! I'm still visiting all your wonderful links from our 100th Tablescape Thursday. I've visited 111 so far and I'll be visiting the rest this evening. I've had soooo much fun and I've so loved seeing how you celebrated our 100th!

A few months ago I stumbled upon a miniature Alice in Wonderland tea set...it was love at first site.



I began collecting Alice in Wonderland china and before I knew it, the sock monkeys
held their own Impromptu Tea Party...Mad Hatter Style.




Next, we celebrated with an Un-Birthday Party out on the porch. :)



This evening I decided it was time to show those silly monkeys they don't get to have all the fun. Since I knew you'd be stopping by, I've set up a tea party just for you in the guest room. Actually, there's room for two...so if you don't mind, I think I'll join you.




Brought up a couple of the wicker chairs from the porch...







The "March Hare" asked if he could join us, too. Of course, I said, Yes!




He even brought a basket of yummies to share...hope you like carrots with your tea. :)







Have a lady bug cookie...they really are yummy. I test-tasted them just to make sure. :) (Is it illegal to link to Foodie Friday with cookies you didn't bake? :))














Would you like another cup of tea?








There's plenty, so please have some more!

Handle of the teapot...




This china has so much whimsy...love the lid to the sugar bowl.










A less busy view with the comforter removed from the bed...










This was so much fun...let's have another tea party real soon! :)

Is today your Un-Birthday?




Awesome! It's mine, too! Let's celebrate!




Here's your place...don't forget to eat your napkin ring! ;-)




Curly flatware works for our fun tablescape. The bowls all picture Alice swimming in her tears... (Click on each pic twice to enlarge for reading.)




Which salad plate would you like? Alice?




The White Rabbit?




The Mad Hatter?




Or, the Cheshire Cat?




Spiral wording on our dinner plates makes me think of falling down, down, down into the rabbit hole.




Alice is negotiating with her croquet mallet,




While the Red Queen takes her turn.




Please pick your favorite coaster for your cup.




Would you like some salt and pepper?




How about a big slice of Un-Birthday cake?




A very Merry Un-Birthday to You!

An Impromptu Tea Party...Mad Hatter Style

This morning I heard such a ruckus going on in the upstairs family room! I hurried down the hall and threw open the door to see what in the world was going on in there! Look!



It's a tea party, Mad Hatter style...and I wasn't even invited! Umpf!



I don't know which I'm more obssessed with these days...this precious Alice in Wonderland china designed by Paul Cardew.



Or these adorable sock monkeys.



They have magnets in their hands so they can actually grip the tea cup.



Cute, cute, cute!




You'll be seeing more of this china for a Tablescape Thursday sometime. I bought 6 place settings in the grown-up size...now I'm on the search for the perfect centerpiece to create a whimsical tablescape.



I found the miniature tea set at HomeGoods for $19.99. Later, I located additional pieces in Marshalls, Tuesday Morning and on eBay.
